This morning my wife and I had a garage sale together.  I say together because it is usually something that she does with a friend and I want nothing to do with.  But I am grateful for the endeavor together.  I am also grateful for the great amount of sales that we had.

At midmorning I got to take my son for a session with the son of my friend who is coaching him. This is the same friend who talked to me about getting him in baseball in the first place.  I am grateful for the role my friend and his son have played in our lives.

We had a great meal for lunch and a good nap afterward.  I got to watch the Easter Vigil mass in the afternoon.

This evening I got to meet with my sponsee and go to the meeting.  Just before meeting with him I felt spiritually disconnected.  I attributed this to my slack this week in spiritual activities.  But I also wonder how much of it is a spiritual attack from the enemy.

Tonight I go to sleep grateful for spiritual renewal and in anticipation of the Holy Day tomorrow.

Father in heaven,
As we gather in on this Holy Day of celebration,
We commemorate your passion, death, and resurrection,
We thank you for your gift of identification, redemption, and eternal life,
Bless us and these gifts we are about to receive from your bounty,
May we always be mindful of those less fortunate than us,
Those with less food, less friends, and less faith,
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen

Thanks be to God.
